"Traditional forms of soy foods include tofu, bean curd and tempeh (principally used in Indonesia). In Japan, traditional forms include miso soup, edamame and a fermented form of soy called natto. "Traditional forms of soy are all fairly intact, they haven't been broken down into components; the whole bean is eaten, or has been processed by the traditional food technology, like fermentation," Wahlqvist says."
